Chris Martin Gives Up Being Vegetarian Following Marriage Separation

Chris Martin, is no longer a vegetarian following marriage separation/ He is an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and is the lead vocalist, pianist, rhythm guitarist, and one of the founders of the band Coldplay and during a radio interview with BBC Radio 2 “Steve Wright in the Afternoon” on July 1, 2014, he says he is no longer a vegetarian, saying, ‘I eat meat.’

When asked if he’s still vegetarian, the front man of Coldplay replied,

“Well, not really.”

The host then asked curiously,

“What do you mean ‘not really’?” Chris, who was labeled World’s Sexiest Vegetarian in 2005 by PETA, explained, “Well, I eat meat. I was vegetarian for quite a long time and then for various reasons I changed. My daughter’s vegetarian since she was born, so I keep getting tempted to go back. I don’t eat very much meat.”

“I felt like you should only eat something that you’d be able to kill…,” the English singer-songwriter added, “You know, could you kill a fish? I wouldn’t like it, but I probably could, so I’ll eat the fish. But a giraffe…”

The “Midnight” crooner paused for a second and then joked,

“I don’t know why on earth we’re talking about this. I’ve gotta stop talking-this will be some kind of headline.”

Chris opened up about his life after his “conscious uncoupling” from Gwyneth Paltrow, saying, “You can choose your paths in life, I find, when you get to a point where you’re like, ‘I could either jump off a bridge or I could try and turn this around. I’m sure lots of people have that in much harder instances. You just find the right tools.”

“I feel so grateful,” the 37-year-old singer added, “Especially over the last couple of years, music has been alchemising. Going through something difficult in your life, music for me is always a friend and something that helps you to figure things out. That’s always what I’m doing in the middle of the night. I’m very grateful to be here. Every day is a blessing. That’s how I feel.”

The couple were married in 2013, they have two children, Apple and Moses. The couple announced their separation in March.
